This is a test of an online score table using mysql, php, and a very simple GE-game.
Click on the pacman to gain score, 10 misses and he dissapears.
Enter your name where it says name in the topleft, and click submit to enter your score and see the online table.
Sorry the game isn't exactly all that fun, I just want to see peoples thoughts on this and such :)

Very cool. Doesn't work on the Linux I use (as the openUrl function doesn't work). Would love to see how it works.

Know a bit about PHP and in the process of learning more so I definitely want to see a tutorial. This would seem to have potential for multi-player purposes, at least for a social app type game.

I have linux, windows, and mac, so I ended up trying it on windows, which is where I got the hiscore from. Thanks for the tutorial, all we need now is for gE to be able to scrape information off of a website. I don't think it'd be too difficult to do, maybe akr can implement that.

Well I was thinking of a way, brainstorming really. Php can write a text document, so I was trying to think of a way to write/edit a text document with the scores then use fopen and put the scores in GE instead of the website, just a thought though
